    A vibrant poster for the Dada Strain live event featuring performances by Christopher Hoffman, Christina Wheeler & Chris Williams, and Prince of Queens, all live. The event is hosted at Light & Sound Design Studios in Greenpoint (RSVP for location). Tickets range from $20–$30. The poster is designed with abstract, fluid art in pink, purple, and blue hues, evoking a surreal, dynamic aesthetic. Curated by Piotr Dada Strain, with a nod to the iconic 411 logo.

    Dada Strain @ L&SD is a bi-monthly series of live performances by (primarily local) improvisers and producers, that presents music for deep listening and body movements as a singular DIY loft experience. Rhythm, Improvisation, Community to the future.

    This third Dada Strain @ L&SD night will open with a solo set by cellist Christopher Hoffman (member of Henry Threadgill’s Zooid band) live-debuting material from his wonderful amplified cello album REX, inspired by the work Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created an archive of watercolors of North American birds. (Tonight marks the record release party for REX.)

    It will be followed by another debut, that of a very special duo: experimental vocalist and electronic multi-instrumentalist Christina Wheeler, an NYC music veteran now living between Berlin and Los Angeles, collaborating with the trumpeter and electronic producer, Chris Williams, two dear Dada Strain friends uniting in sound for the first time.

    The evening will close with a live hardware set by Prince of Queens, the Colombia-born New York-raised house-meets-cumbia producer best known as bassist/synth player for tropical psychdelicists Combo Chimbita.

    Selections before-between-after will be provided by Piotr Dada Strain. Tonight’s show was produced with the generous help of FourOneOne.

  • NYPD: Internet Attribution Management Infrastructure

    NYPD · NYC.gov

    The NYPD disclosure from February 4th:

    The NYPD uses internet attribution management infrastructure, including Ntrepid, to manage digital footprints and allow its personnel to safely, securely, and covertly conduct investigations and detect possible criminal activity on the internet.

    . . .

    The information that is ultimately accessible to NYPD personnel utilizing this equipment is limited to publicly available information or the information that is viewable as a result of the privacy settings, privacy practices, and access limitations of an internet environment (e.g., chatrooms, social media profiles, messaging applications)

  • Mamdani faces first showdown with NYPD – will he risk alienating police?

    Eric Berger · The Guardian

    On 4 February, the NYPD disclosed that it used “internet attribution management infrastructure” from the technology company Ntrepid to “allow its personnel to safely, securely and covertly conduct investigations and detect possible criminal activity on the internet”. In other words, to create the sort of “sock puppet” online identities that Mamdani had once sought to prevent.

    . . .

    Owen, of Stop, also argues that the police could use such a tool to target Black and Latino residents. He pointed to the NYPD’s previous disclosure that if someone “makes a comment such as ‘Happy Birthday’ on the Facebook page of a gang member”, they could be considered a “known associate” and added to its criminal database, according to an inspector general report.
